Canadian Policemen Misused Confidential Database, Official Says
Alberta's privacy commissioner has found that several Edmonton police officers broke rules by improperly using a police database to look up information about two men targeted in a failed drunk-driving stakeout last fall. The confidential database includes information, such as a person's home address, personal description and date of birth.
Police checks went too far, privacy official says, Globe and Mail, April 28, 2005.
